C753 I'll Die Before I Get out of Here
Of course, the Gu family wouldn't allow Gu Ming, a half-step Sovereign, to go with them. There was also another half-step Sovereign, Master Zhang. He was an elder worshiped by the Gu family. There were also twenty Celestial Sovereign experts who were above the intermediate grade.
The Gu family felt that such a camp was more than enough to capture or kill Ling Xiao.
After going through many difficulties, they finally arrived at the neighboring city, Water City, which was closest to the Wind Cloud City.
There were two rivers running through this city. There were many shipyard on top of the river. There were many scholars and sluts reciting poems against each other. It was as if they had left this world that was filled with slaughter at this moment. It was extremely elegant and quiet.
The twenty-two people from the Gu family stopped in one of the docks to rest for the time being. They first checked out Ling Xiao's background before rushing to the Wind Cloud City.
Initially, they wanted to go to the Wind Cloud City to kill Ling Xiao immediately.
However, when they first arrived at the city, they heard a piece of news about Ling Xiao.
That was ten days ago, Ling Xiao had killed thousands of enemies by himself, shocking everyone in the world!
This news had to be taken seriously.
If Ling Xiao really had such ability, they would go and find him. Wouldn't that be courting death?
In the shipyard, the people of Gu family were all seated. There were also two mercenaries who had been captured.
Gu Ming stared at the two mercenaries and said quietly, "Hurry up and tell me if you are telling the truth. If you are lying, I will kill you immediately.
Gu Ming's half-step Sovereign cultivation made the two Earth Emperor Stage mercenaries shiver in fear.
One of them stammered, "My... my lord, I... What we said is true. My... my commander was killed by Ling Xiao even though he was a Profound Monarch Cultivation Level warrior. His... his strength was too terrifying. If we didn't run away fast, we would have died in Ling Xiao's hands.
Another mercenary also repeatedly replied," Yes... Yes, my lord. That Ling Xiao is too terrifying. All ten thousand of us were killed by him in a single thought. He is a killing devil.
As soon as the mercenary finished his sentence, Gu Ming raised his finger and pointed at the mercenary's forehead.
Swoosh!
A sharp energy immediately pierced through the mercenary's head.
"Nonsense! Even if a Celestial Sovereign of Middle Rank could suppress his peers, how could he kill thousands of enemies by himself? There are even several emperors here!" Gu Ming shouted.
He felt that the man was talking nonsense. Even with his strength, it was impossible for him to kill ten thousand people with a single thought!
The other mercenary was so scared that he pissed his pants. He kept kowtowing to Gu Ming and said, "Master, please spare my life. Master, please spare my life.
Gu Ming asked again, "Say it again. If there is any falsehood, I will kill you.
The mercenary once again told the story in a trembling and shocked manner.
However, this time, he could not say it like before.
It was said that Ling Xiao was able to defeat ten thousand of them because he had set up a killing formation to trap most of them. That was why Ling Xiao was lucky enough to win.
Gu Ming was very satisfied when he heard this answer. "I knew it. Ling Xiao is only a newly advanced Celestial Sovereign. How can he kill a Profound Monarch? I think it's because of this killing formation that you idiots were defeated.
The mercenary cursed in his heart. "I don't know who the idiot is.
"Elder Ming, Ling Xiao has set up a killing formation now. I'm afraid..." Master Zhang said worriedly.
Gu Ming waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Ling Xiao's killing formation can't be prepared at all times. The three mercenary groups formed an alliance with each other. They are idiots. They actually went to kill people and occupy the city. Is this a chance for them to prepare? We only need to enter the city as ordinary people and not alert the enemy. As long as we enter the city, Ling Xiao won't be able to escape even if he has wings!
With a plan in mind, Gu Ming killed the mercenary casually. After that, he changed into the uniform of an ordinary warrior and took a Pill that could hide his aura. Then, he rushed towards Wind Cloud City.
When they thought that this trip could be completed smoothly, they did not know that a dead end was waiting for them.
...
Outside of Fengyun City, Yang Xianfeng had been waiting for a long time with his three thousand brothers on his mount.
Apart from Yang Xianfeng, who was a half-step Sovereign, his sworn brother, Wang Teng, was also a newly advanced half-step Sovereign. He had sent nearly a hundred Celestial Sovereign Rank warriors, over a thousand Earth Sovereigns, and the rest of them were at the King Rank realm.
Such a line-up was exceptionally powerful, enough to match the strength of Fifth Grade Sect.
"Big brother, can we openly oppose Gu family like this?" Wang Teng whispered to Yang Xianfeng from the side.
Yang Xianfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "I chose to follow City Lord Ling, so I made this decision. Since he dared to openly occupy the city and claim the title of king, he should have a trump card to deal with the Gu family. Don't forget, he is the disciple of the legendary Evil Monarch Feng Liu. At first, I thought it was a remote statement, but after that battle, I completely believed it. If he wasn't Evil Monarch's disciple, how could he have such terrifying combat strength?
"But the Gu family must be an established force. How can its foundation be compared to... City Lord Ling!" Wang Teng voiced his concerns.
Although he was also very optimistic about Ling Xiao's future prospects, he was very worried about becoming the enemy of the Gu family.
He never thought that Ling Xiao would give them such a mission. If they didn't kill the people of the Gu family, they wouldn't be able to gain Ling Xiao's recognition. However, after killing the people of the Gu family, they had no way out. They could only follow Ling Xiao.
Yang Xianfeng was silent for a moment before he said. Therefore, this is a bet. What I saw was that City Lord Ling would definitely be able to fight against the Gu family and witness the path of my life. If you don't have the confidence, I won't stop you if you quit now!
Wang Teng's expression changed slightly. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother. We don't ask for the same year, the same month, the same day. We only wish to die on the same day of the same year or the same month. I am willing to follow big brother to the soup until the fire. I will not refuse!
Yang Xianfeng patted Wang Teng's shoulder in satisfaction and said, "Don't worry. Your big brother's choice has always been rarely wrong. This time is no exception!
At this time, a commoner came to Yang Xianfeng and Wang Teng and knelt on one knee and said, "Reporting. Commander, Vice Regimental Commander's idea has arrived!
Yang Xianfeng waved his hand and then looked at Wang Teng. He raised his spear and waved it. "Brothers, follow me to fight. Make sure everyone stays!
Three thousand mercenaries rode out on various kinds of Spirit Beasts.
Gu Ming and the others who had just approached Wind Cloud City sensed the vast and powerful aura.
Gu Ming frowned and said, "What happened? It seems like a large group of people are coming towards us.
Master Zhang said from the side, "I don't think they are coming for us. Maybe some battle has happened.
Gu Ming nodded slightly and said, "To avoid unnecessary trouble, let's let them go first. We will see who dares to disrespect our Gu family after we capture Ling Xiao.
Just as the group was about to escape, thousands of men rushed towards them.
Gu Ming and the others' expressions changed slightly. They didn't understand why these mercenaries suddenly came to find them. Could they be raiders?
"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Gu Ming frowned and asked.
He started to worry, because he could clearly sense the ferocity of these people. The two leading men were even more so. They had the same strength as him.
Yang Xianfeng raised his spear and said, "Are they from the Gu family?
Gu Ming replied, "You are mistaken. We are just passing by. We just want to go to the Wind Cloud City to exhaust ourselves.
Their group had already concealed their strength. In other people's eyes, they were just ordinary King Rank strength. They did not want to expose their identity in advance and let Ling Xiao escape when he heard the news!
Wang Teng sneered coldly from the side and said, "You can enter the Wind Cloud City if you want. Leave the medicinal Space Rings and medicinal Spirit Beasts behind.
The expressions of Gu Ming and the others changed. They didn't understand what these people's intentions were.
Master Zhang was a half-step Sovereign and an elder of the Gu family. He had never been so angry before. He wanted to get angry immediately.
Gu Ming pulled him back and gave him a look. Then, he took out a lot of Profound Crystals and said, "Everyone, we are just ordinary people who do business. There are some Profound Crystals here. Could you please let us live?
Wang Teng went forward and put away all the Profound Crystals. He said with disdain, "The people of Gu family are really stingy. They actually want to send us away with a million Profound Crystal of Middle Grades. It really makes people speechless!
"Who are you guys?!" Gu Ming already knew that the other party was toying with them. He immediately shouted out. The aura of a half-step Sovereign was undoubtedly displayed.
Yang Xianfeng burst into laughter and said, "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that you won't be able to enter the Wind Cloud City.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly. His subordinates immediately opened fire together with the medicinal Spirit Beasts.
All kinds of attribute attacks descended from the sky. Although the terrifying aura was not as terrifying as Ling Xiao's previous one versus ten thousand, it also made people feel very shocked.
Gu Ming and the others were shocked. How could they have thought that they would be ambushed like this before they reached the Wind Cloud City? Their minds were thrown into chaos.
Gu Ming was indeed a leading figure. He lunged at Yang Xianfeng and shouted at the same time, "Who the hell are you? How dare you oppose our Gu family? Do you want to die?
As he shouted, he also summoned his Protective Spirit Beast. How could he capture Yang Xianfeng as soon as possible to avoid the fate of being intercepted and killed?
However, Yang Xianfeng was not a soft sieve. He raised his spear and rushed forward, fighting a great battle with Gu Ming. At the same time, he sneered and said, "Daring to offend City Lord Ling, you all really don't know what's good for you!
Gu Ming's heart turned cold. It turned out that these men were sent by Ling Xiao to kill them.
Gu Ming thought of escaping. He had to escape and return to his family to inform them. He wanted his family to send out their grand elders as soon as possible so that they could capture and kill Ling Xiao.
Unfortunately, Yang Xianfeng and the others had already risked their lives for Ling Xiao. They absolutely couldn't let anyone from the Gu family escape.
The attack of the three thousand mercenary groups had completely drowned the twenty-two people from the Gu family.
This was a one-sided battle. Nothing unexpected happened!
